Rana and Emad, an Iranian couple who happen to be performers rehearsing for Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman” rent a new apartment from one of their fellow performers. Unaware that the previous tenant had been “a woman of many male companions,” Rana, home alone, hears the intercom and buzzes in the person she assumes is Emad, only he isn’t. When Emad returns he finds that Rana has been brutally attacked. While Rana survives the attack, this event turns their life upside down, changes their world view, and impacts their marriage. Farhadi has fashioned a dramatic critique of what he portrays as the Iranian male gaze — a gaze of molten judgment and anger.
